Janey Godley has canceled her autumn 2024 stand-up tour due to her ongoing battle with stage four ovarian cancer. At 63, the comedian expressed her deep sadness over the decision, revealing that her recent chemotherapy treatments have been significantly debilitating and have led her doctors to advise her against working for the foreseeable future. This heartbreaking announcement follows a period where she had previously been given the all-clear after her initial diagnosis in 2021, only to discover that the cancer had returned with complications. Godley emphasized that being a comedian is a vital part of her identity, making this news particularly difficult to accept. She conveyed gratitude to her fans for their continued support during this challenging time, stating, 'Working, to me, is life.' The cancellation affects numerous scheduled performances across the UK.
